Rating: Summary: My stock was waltzing -- now it's jitterbugging. Review: Who ever heard of a book on buying and selling stocks that is also a page turner? Full of sound advice, lots of no-no and yes-yes's and all written with a serious jab at your funny bone. Don't get me wrong! This is a first-rate how-to book, and it can teach you how to make sound investments that will put money in your pocket. Toni Turner is an excellent writer who has the skills necessary to appeal to readers from all directions. Now ask yourself: when was the last time you read a book on day trading that was so enlightening and entertaining that you hated to put it down? It's a terrific book by a delightful writer, and a needed addition to the world of Day Trading. Cappy Hall-Rearick President, Southeastern Writers Association, Inc.
Rating: Summary: Good book with sound advice. Review: I have read most of the daytrading books on the market and for the money this book has sound advice and uses proven trading techniques. This book covers most of the material covered in books that cost $100 or more. I like how Toni stresses the importance of bankroll preservation and trailing stops.
Rating: Summary: Loved the book and person Review: Met here at the ... boot camp for traders where she was assistant instructor, in nyc last week ,,and she was great, the course was tops also.. and i highly recommend both.
Rating: Summary: Two thumbs up ! Review: I have just finished reading A Beginner's Guide To Day Trading Online, and I have got to say it is the best book I have read so far on Day Trading (and I have read many). Toni's humorous approach keeps you captivated throughout, yet she still manages to present the complexeties of the trading arena in an easy to understand, straight forward manner. Excellent work.
Rating: Summary: A+ All the way Review: This book organizes the complicated world of day trading in such a way that novice traders like myself can easily understand. It covers quite a large spectrum of need-to-knows (from basic to not-so-basic topics) for the beginner and is explained in language that is user-friendly. I was quite pleased with the overall coverage, and would recommend it to anyone getting started in Day Trading - I learned greatly!
Rating: Summary: A Beginneer's Guide to Day Trading Online Review: I received Toni Turner's book last week and have just finished my first reading. Toni has accomplished a great reader friendly introducation to day trading stocks online. I have traded commodity futures for twenty years and am just getting my feet wet with ONLINE stock trading.I earned my M.B.A. and have been a successful investor in stocks for over 20 years. Toni Turner's book gave me a wealth of hard earned information in a format easy to read and understand. The subtle nuances that make a big difference in money earned or lost was handled with good examples, charts and analogies for everyone to understand. One of the outstanding characteristics of Miss Turner's book is the manner in which she makes the difficult task of technical analysis understandable to those who have little or no experience investing. It does not bore you like so many technical books, and therefore, keeps you reading instead of laying it aside. As noted in her book, the differences between time frames in the risk and reward equation of day trading are explained compared to longer term investment instruments. Seems to me the action of imparting understanding is accomplished quite well. I applaud this new book as a welcome addition to any library.
Rating: Summary: Comprehensive Overview for New Active Online Traders Review: This is an outstanding introductory book for new traders. It starts with an overall picture of the markets, then teaches trading psychology, fundamental chart-reading, and Level II tactics. Traders who day trade (hold stocks for minutes to hours), swing trade (hold stocks days-to-weeks), and those who want to trade their IRA accounts long term, will learn how to make money in the stock market. Best of all, the book is written in a style that everyone can comprehend. Another reviewer mentioned that it is beneficial for authors to have actual trading knowledge -- I totally agree! Toni Turner was one of Pristine.com's first students, and I have personally traded with Toni for over one year. She is not only extremely knowledgeable about the financial markets, but can consistently pull profits from the markets daily on all types of trades! As the title suggests, it is an awesome book to give interested traders a jump start into this exploding trading revolution. Then the traders can add to their ongoing education with many other excellent advanced books.
Rating: Summary: The author, Toni Turner, March 5, 2000 Review: Hi Everyone! When I first started trading nearly four years ago, bookstores carried very few books about trading. Many of those assumed I understood the technical terms they threw at me with little or no explanation. Actually, I've never known a trader who sprung from the cradle clutching failproof trading tactics in each fist, although I've met some who would like you to think so! Many of us, like myself, learned this profession one difficult lesson at a time. Since I have a background in writing, when my losses turned to profits, I decided to write a reader-friendly book that new traders could easily digest and then profit from. I chose to write it in a lighthearted style. Why? When I was in college, my biology professor, a brilliant man, infused his lectures with humor. He knew that if he laced dry subject matter with wit, his students would learn and retain more. They did. And, his classes had waiting lines! If you're a new trader, I wrote this book for you. In it, you'll learn the way the stock market operates, the winning mind-set to cultivate, basic technical analysis and level II trading. A two-week boot camp teaches how to combine it all together, and "survival strategies" show you how to trade safely while making money. Whether you prefer to hold positions for two minutes or two months, you'll learn how to take profits from the stock market. I am a full-time, in-house trader at a firm in White Plains, NY. Good luck and good trading!
Rating: Summary: Don't Start Without It! Review: I have been day trading for 18 months. I know that doesn't seem long but in this buisness that can be an eternity. I can't help but wonder how many of the people that I have seen crash and burn, might have made it through those early days if they had read this book. This is a great book for entry level day traders. Turner is a trader who knows how to write about the markets in a clear concise manner, touched with humor. She explains how to trade actively while protecting your capital. Ever new trader should add this book to his or her library!
Rating: Summary: Disapointing attempt! Review: This is another attempt of a journalist to take advantage of the booming market of day trading books. When I started trading, four years ago, there were a few books written on this subject. Those books were written by traders! Today, there are so many books to choose from, most of which are written by journalists, day trading firms, or trading schools. The books which are written by traders such as Larry Connors, Jeff Cooper, Linda Raschke, Michael Turner, Larry Williams, etc., are pricy. However, they contain real-life trading experience which this book lacks. My father taught me an important lesson: You get what you pay for. If you are serious about day trading, abvoid this book! I recommend you spend the extra bucks and buy "Hit and Run Trading," "Street Smarts," "Day Trading into the Millennium," and "Long-Term Secrets to Short-Term Trading." Another excellent book is "Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom" by Van K. Tharp. This book is amusing at best and I guess it deserves one star for that, otherwise I would have given it ZERO stars.
